OT Blazers owner Paul Allen pledges $30 million for Seattle homeless facility

Must have to have an address for season ticket orders

Canzano: "Sure you can stay there and get a hot meal and a shower, but you have to watch Blazers games on the TVs"

 

I'm not sure how much this is really going to help. The management is likely (and yes, this is speculation on my part) not going to allow those with drug or alcohol problems inside their facility, and that's pretty much the biggest problem with most people who are homeless. Not to mention their criminal records.

I visited Seattle back in December when my father and I went to the Seattle 49er Faithful Fanclub with members from our Portland Club. I was absolutely jaw-dropped shocked by how bad the homeless problem is there. They are EVERYWHERE, and so is the pollution.

Seattle has a LOT of work to do.

 

Fuck Seattle

 

I'd rather he spent 30MM on luxury tax payments. What is he gonna do, make them all watch his shitty band play?

 

...maybe this was a secret ploy to get all of the homeless in Portland to migrate North?!

 

As long as they don't migrate to Vancouver, then I'm happy.

 

Worse than Portland?!? I couldn't believe all of the tents on sidewalks I saw there.

 

You know...I drove through tranny avenue in Portland last week with my father on our way home from the game. There were homeless tents on the sidewalk, but nothing like Seattle. In Seattle, they have entire parking lots filled with old broken-down campers and tents, with shopping carts filled with garbage. And they're pretty much everywhere; in the newer-developed areas of town and in the older parts of town.

It was pretty shocking. I've never seen homelessness that bad. It makes me seriously wonder what the fuck Seattle's government is doing up there.

 

Dealing with stuff like this, I would guess.

 

Don't they have this in Chinatown?

Vancouver has the worst fucking junkie/homeless area ever. East Hastings. Fucking cess pool of drugs and disease.

 

......holy shit. Yeah, I guess that's a big reason why nothing is getting done. Unfortunately, Seattle has a BIG nutbag population. Portland has it's nutbags, but Seattle takes the cake with sheer lunacy.

 

City of Portland should buy our homeless bums a bus pass up to Seattle ASAP!

 

........

 

There's only one Vancouver. The one on the map is mislabeled, should read Vantucky.

 

Are Portland's homeless pretty aggressive?

Aren't there a bunch of street kids too?

 

Seattle is pretty shitty homeless population. SF is probably worse they shit all over the sidewalks. LA has a horrible homeless problem, they just set up tents everywhere nowadays.
